Amazon is rolling out a new all-in-one streaming deal in the US that quietly solves a very 2026 problem: too many apps, too many bills, and too many places to remember where that one show lives. For a limited time, Prime Video users in the US can bolt on a combined Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus bundle for $19.99 per month, folding two big-name services into a single subscription and a single Amazon bill.

At its core, this bundle is about collapsing some of the chaos of modern streaming into something a little more manageable. Instead of juggling separate logins and payment methods for Apple TV and Peacock, Prime Video customers can simply subscribe once, inside the Prime Video app or on the web, and unlock content from both services in the same place they already go to watch The Boys, Fallout, or Thursday Night Football. Amazon says the pricing represents savings of over 30% compared with paying for Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus separately, which lines up with how Apple itself pitches the bundle on its own storefront.
Crucially, this is the higher-end version of Peacock that Amazon is bundling. The deal specifically includes Peacock Premium Plus, the mostly ad-free tier that strips out the bulk of commercial breaks from on-demand titles and unlocks offline downloads, with only a handful of exceptions around live channels and certain events because of rights agreements. Apple TV, meanwhile, has always positioned its originals as ad-free, so the combination is clearly aimed at people who are willing to pay for a smoother, largely interruption-free streaming experience.
If you zoom out and look at what you actually get, it’s a surprisingly deep library skewed toward prestige series and live sports. On the Apple TV side, the bundle pulls in the company’s expanding lineup of originals: character‑driven dramas and comedies like Severance, Shrinking, and Pluribus, big-swing genre pieces, glossy limited series, and an increasingly aggressive sports slate that now includes properties like Formula 1, Major League Soccer, and Friday Night Baseball. Apple has been promising new originals every week in 2026, and tentpole returns like the upcoming fourth season of Ted Lasso are a big part of the pitch.
Peacock brings a very different kind of firepower. It is still the streaming home for a lot of familiar NBC and Bravo comfort TV, from the various Law & Order and One Chicago shows to reality staples like The Real Housewives of Atlanta and social-media-friendly hits such as The Traitors. On top of that, Peacock folds in day-and-date Universal movies, a back catalog of fan-favorite franchises, and live sports that look increasingly essential if you care about major US leagues: Premier League soccer, NFL Sunday Night Football, and NBA coverage, among others.
Taken together, Apple TV plus Peacock looks like a deliberate attempt to cover two pillars that have become non-negotiable for a lot of households: prestige scripted shows and live sports. Apple has been using big-budget originals and splashy film projects like F1: The Movie to build a reputation as a quality‑first studio and a serious sports broadcaster. Peacock, by contrast, leans on legacy TV brands, NBC news and entertainment, and long-running franchises, then layers on sports rights that keep viewers coming back multiple times a week. For someone who wants one subscription that can handle both “Sunday night game” and “weeknight drama” without needing to bounce between multiple apps, this bundle gets close.
For Apple and NBCUniversal, there’s an obvious upside in letting Amazon do some of the heavy lifting. Apple has already been marketing the Apple TV and Peacock bundle directly through its own site and apps, pricing Apple TV plus Peacock Premium at $14.99 per month and Apple TV plus Peacock Premium Plus at $19.99 per month and promising more than 30% savings versus buying the individual subscriptions. Extending that same structure into Prime Video instantly exposes the bundle to tens of millions of people who already use Amazon’s platform as their default streaming hub.
Peacock, meanwhile, gets a fresh opportunity to upsell people into its higher‑priced Premium Plus tier. Peacock Premium Plus is where the service offers “no ads” for almost all on‑demand shows and movies, along with the ability to download for offline viewing, though you may still see some ads during live sports or local NBC feeds because of licensing. Historically, Premium Plus has had to fight the perception that “ad-free” isn’t quite literal, but paired with Apple TV’s fully ad-free originals and Amazon’s bundling discount, it becomes an easier sell to people who just want fewer interruptions without thinking too hard about the fine print.
From a viewer’s perspective, the bigger question is where this leaves your overall streaming bill. A standard Amazon Prime membership in the US currently runs $14.99 per month or $139 per year and includes Prime Video as one of several benefits. Add the $19.99 Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus bundle on top, and you’re at roughly $35 per month before you think about anything like HBO Max or Netflix. The pitch from Amazon, Apple, and NBCUniversal is that the bundle discount makes two premium services feel more justifiable, especially if you were already considering at least one of them, but it still pushes your all-in streaming budget into cable-like territory if you keep stacking more channels.
